There are a number of brown areas appearing in the many of the lawns of Sunland North, especially on Blakely Blvd, Cascadia Loop and Mendel. As you likely know, we have an ongoing battle with broadleaf weeds and clover that requires treatment. In a recent application, a generally-accepted herbicide was used on several lawns, but by accident the applicator was mistakenly replenished with Roundup. This is why we have brown spots, and these spots will require reseeding in the next month or so. Precautions have been taken so this kind of accident will not be repeated in the future.
Not all of the division has suffered the consequences. The red areas indicate lawns mistakenly sprayed with Roundup. The yellow areas should be fine.
Tom Steffen, Chair
Sunland North Developed Landscaping Committee
